SportsLine simulated the 2019 Sony Open 10,000 times, and there are some big surprises. This proprietary computer model, which was built by DFS pro Mike McClure, has nailed four of the last eight majors entering the weekend and called Tiger Woods' deep run in the 2018 PGA Championship despite being a 25-1 long shot.

The model has been spot-on early in the 2018-19 PGA season. It was all over Jon Rahm (12-1) at the 2018 Hero World Challenge, projecting him as a top contender from the start. It also correctly predicted Brooks Koepka's (9-1) victory at the 2018 CJ Cup earlier this season. Anyone who has followed the model is up HUGE.

Now, it has simulated the 2019 Sony Open and there were some HUGE surprises.  

One huge shocker the model is calling for: Jordan Spieth, a three-time major champion and one of the Vegas favorites, stumbles big-time this week and finishes outside the top five. Another surprise: Paul Casey, a 33-1 long shot, makes a serious run at the title. He has a much better chance to win it all than his odds imply, so he's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. 

Also, the model says four additional golfers with odds of 25-1 or longer make a strong run at the title. Anyone who bets on these underdogs could hit it BIG.

So who should you jump on for the 2019 Sony Open? And which huge long shots make a serious run at winning it all? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the entire projected leaderboard, and see which long shots shock the golfing world, all from the model that nailed the winner of four golf majors!
